Install the locales package as afore mentioned. Helping a friend do an
install yesterday after a HD crash we installed locales through
aptitude. Strangely, we had to run dpkg-reconfigure locales to set it
up properly. In the user's home directory I've always added "export
LANG=en_US" to ~/.bashrc I also use localepurge to only keep my
prefered locale files on my systems.
